Using year 1as the base year, compute real GDP for eachyear. What is the percentage change in real GDPfrom year 1 to year 2? Using year 1 as the baseyear, compute the price deflator for each year.Now compute the GDP deflator for each year,using year 2 as the base year. Explain why themeasures of real GDP growth (and growth in thedeflator) depend on the choice of base year.

Last year, a small nation with abundant forests cut down 200 worth of trees. It then turned 100 worth of trees into 150 worth of lumber. It used 100 worth of that lumber to produce $250 worth of bookshelves. Assuming the country produces no other outputs, and there are no other inputs used in producing trees, lumber, and bookshelves, what is this nations GDP? In other words, what is the value of the final goods the nation produced including trees, lumber and bookshelves?
